Housing support for asylum seekers

What you need to know

If you've made an asylum claim, you have the right to housing from the Home Office. This is called Section 95 support — you'll get a room and a small allowance for food.

To apply, call Migrant Help: 0808 101 8700 (free). They'll help you fill in form ASF1.

You don't choose the city — the Home Office decides. But if you have serious reasons (health, safety), you can request a specific region.

If you've been refused or are being evicted — contact one of the organisations below. They'll help for free.
